Haunting First Trailer For The Remake of JACOB'S LADDER
“You’ll see devils tearing your life apart.”
We’ve been hearing about director David M. Rosenthal‘s remake of Jacob’s Ladder for some time now. Well, the trailer for the film has been released, and while it looks like an intense and haunting film, it doesn’t look as good as the original 1990 movie.
In this version of the film, "After losing his brother in combat, Jacob Singer returns home from Afghanistan — only to be pulled into a mind-twisting state of paranoia. Singer soon realizes that his sibling is alive but life is not what it seems."
The new film tells a different story set in a different setting and it has a fresh twist, but as you’ll see, the nightmarish imagery is similar.
The movie comes from writer Jeff Buhler (The Prodigy, Pet Sematary) and it also stars Michael Ealy (The Intruder), Jesse Williams (The Cabin in the Woods), Nicole Beharie (Shame, 42), and Karla Souza (How to Get Away with Murder).
Vertical Entertainment is set to release the film this summer debuting on DISH in July. It will then get a theatrical release on August 23rd. Watch the trailer below and let us know if it looks like a remake that will be better than the original film.
